As specialists in software development for the light gauge steel (LGS) sector, we are committed to providing innovative solutions for engineers, estimators, and manufacturers worldwide.

Our latest software update is released today, Monday 16th December 2024. This update includes integration of the comprehensive design guidance outlined in SCI P437. This update necessitates an increase in the number of braced bays required for optimal racking performance, which is crucial for maintaining structural integrity and ensuring safety under load conditions.
